What Is A Frenectomy?
What is a frenectomy, and why would you want to book your child for a Pediatric Frenectomy procedure? Good question! Possibly the main reason your child would be referred for a frenectomy is to remedy a medical problem known as a tongue-tie.
Tongue-tie, also known as Ankyloglossia, is a condition that restricts the tongue’s range of motion. This restriction happens because there’s a small piece of tissue holding the tongue too tight to the floor of the mouth. It might sound strange, but Tongue-tie is a very common physiological problem that’s known to affect more than 3 million people in the United States annually.
A tongue-tie is a problem that may appear at birth, or during growth and development. It may lead to difficulties breast or bottle feeding, poor oral hygiene, cause difficulties communicating, chewing and swallowing liquids, problems breathing during sleep, and many other consequences.
